Straight Shank End Mills

The shank of the straight shank end mill is cylindrical, which is different from the conical milling cutter. The main cutting edge is the cylindrical surface, and the cutting edge on the end surface is the secondary cutting edge. When working, the feed movement cannot be made along the axial direction of the milling cutter. According to the national standard, the diameter of the end mill is 2-50 mm, which can be divided into two types: coarse teeth and fine teeth. The diameter of 2-20 is the range of straight shank, and the diameter of 14-50 is the range of tapered shank. There are many shapes of milling cutters, which are used for ordinary milling machines and CNC milling machines to process grooves and linear contours, and to process cavities, cores, and surface shapes/contours on milling and boring machining centers.

Cylindrical milling cutter use

Cylindrical milling cutters are generally used to machine narrow planes with circumferential milling on horizontal milling machines. There are two types of cylindrical milling cutters: coarse-toothed cylindrical milling cutters have the characteristics of small number of teeth, high tooth strength, large chip space, and large number of regrind teeth, which are suitable for rough machining; fine-toothed cylindrical milling cutters have a large number of teeth, Works smoothly and is suitable for finishing.

What are the advantages of corn milling cutters

1. The machining accuracy is relatively high.

2. The corn milling cutter can change the blade, and the overall cost performance is very high.

3. The cutting edge has good toughness and strong vibration resistance, and can be used for the manufacture of tools with general cutting speed. For machines with poor rigidity, high-speed steel milling cutters can still cut smoothly.

4. High temperature resistance, good cutting performance at 800-1000℃. The cutting speed can be 4-8 times higher than that of high-speed steel.

5. High hardness and good wear resistance at room temperature.

6. Good process performance, easy forging, machining, sharpening, and manufacturing tools with complex shapes.
